The Problem

Getting rid of junk around here takes some doing

You call the village office and get pointed to the county. You leave messages with a couple of haulers, and one calls back. Weeks go by, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

When a village or county cleanup day comes around, it can help a lot. These programs usually turn away appliances, electronics, and renovation debris, though, and they run on their own calendar. You still have to drag everything to the road yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out and look before they'll give you a number, and that can mean a long wait out here. Then the price depends on how full the truck gets, so you don't know the real cost until the work is done.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities want clean items they can resell, so they'll pass on a stained recliner or a broken washer. The nearest drop-off may also be a long drive, which still leaves you hauling the rejected pieces home again.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container needs a delivery date, enough flat space on your property, and a pickup date. Then it sits on your lawn or driveway for days. If you're just clearing out one shed or spare room, that's a lot of hassle for a small job.

What sets us apart

Your price is locked before pickup day

  • Per-item, predictable. First item includes the pickup fee. Every add-on is flat, no truck math, no hourly rates.
  • Locked means locked. The price at booking is what you pay. No adjustments, no surprises.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Stockton, from the highest Main Street in Illinois to the edge of town

Out here, nothing is around the corner, least of all the dump. Borrowing a neighbor's truck, strapping down a sofa, and driving to the nearest transfer station can swallow a whole Saturday. Your Loaders do the lifting and loading instead, and they genuinely like showing up for Stockton folks who'd rather spend the weekend elsewhere.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky furniture and worn-out appliances are hard to move alone, and in Stockton, where outlets can be far apart, where each item ends up matters. Your Loader sorts by condition: donation, recycling, or disposal.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader loads them separately, though availability varies by area and no donation paperwork is provided.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor
See donation pickup
Visible Wear

Recycling

Damaged items that can't be donated, such as worn appliances or metal furniture frames, may be recycled when possible or where available. Your Loader sets these aside during loading so reusable materials aren't wasted.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, like soaked mattresses or broken-down furniture, go to an approved disposal site. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, and the price is shown at booking.

  • No logistics or transport to handle
  • No sorting or drop-off required on your end
  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Stockton disposal rules most residents don't know

Banned items get rejected at landfills, and illegal burning can bring state enforcement. Here is how Illinois disposal rules apply to cleanouts in Stockton and Jo Daviess County.

Rule 01

Lead-acid batteries from cars and tractors cannot go in trash

Illinois bans lead-acid batteries from landfills, including those from cars, trucks, tractors and lawn equipment. Hard northwest Illinois winters often kill weak batteries. Stores that sell lead-acid batteries in Illinois are required to take used ones back.

Rule 02

Old refrigerators and freezers need parts removed before disposal

Illinois prohibits landfilling white goods such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners until the refrigerant, mercury switches and any PCB-containing parts have been removed. A unit that still contains these parts cannot go out with regular household trash.

Rule 03

Fall leaves and storm-damaged limbs are barred from landfills

Illinois has banned landscape waste from landfills since 1990. Grass clippings, leaves and brush from fall cleanups or from limbs broken by ice storms need to be composted or taken to a landscape waste program, not mixed with household trash.

Rule 04

Burning cleanout debris in a barrel violates state law

Illinois law prohibits open burning of household refuse, including old furniture, trash and construction debris. Rural properties are not exempt, and burning painted or treated materials releases toxic smoke. Violations can lead to enforcement by the Illinois EPA.

Rule 05

Televisions and computer monitors are banned from Illinois landfills

Under the Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act, Illinois bans covered electronics from landfills. These include televisions, computer monitors, printers and video game consoles. Manufacturer-funded collection programs give residents legal drop-off options across the state.

Rule 06

Swapped-out winter tires need a home other than the landfill

Illinois bans whole used tires from landfills. Under state tire rules, tires stored outdoors are treated as a mosquito-breeding risk, so they should be kept dry or covered. Tire retailers usually take back old tires when new ones are purchased.

Not unless your hauler or the village has told you it will take it. Items left out without a scheduled pickup can count as illegal dumping. Call Stockton village hall to confirm current bulk item rules before setting anything out.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Stockton starts at $80 for the first item, which includes the base pickup fee. Each additional item is a flat add-on charge, and the exact total is confirmed before booking. Curbside or driveway pickup takes $5 off.

Same-day slots depend on Loader availability in your area, and rural areas like Stockton may have fewer openings than larger cities. Enter your address during booking to see live availability. Next-day or scheduled windows are often easier to get.

For curbside or driveway pickups, no. Leave the items out with any access notes. For items inside a home, barn, or garage, someone should be there or you can leave access instructions at booking. Your Loader gives notice before arriving.

Large or restricted items such as paint, chemicals, batteries, and appliances with refrigerants often can't go in regular household trash. Rules vary by hauler and county, so check with Jo Daviess County or the village about hazardous waste options before disposal.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance at nearby facilities. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition and what local options allow.

You choose your items online, enter your Stockton address, and pick a time window. The price is shown and confirmed before you book. On pickup day, your Loader arrives, removes the items, and cleans up the area.

The main difference is the pricing model. Many traditional haulers charge by truckload and may confirm the price on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For a large cleanout, a truckload hauler can be a good fit.
